"Google's John Mueller said at the Google Search Central Live event in Zurich today that Google is still working on the next core update. This update should be out soon, but it is unclear if it will happen in the next couple of days or after the holiday season. John joked that it might not come today, but he wouldn't be surprised if one launches in the coming weeks."
"He then quickly added that hopefully not before the holidays. Even Googlers don't like when these core updates launch around the holidays, because they are busy with it. We previously had the June 2025 core update and then before that the March 2025 core update, and more recently the August 2025 spam update. Of course, we had tons of Google updates, Google did not confirm but we are waiting for the next big core update."
Google is working on the next core update and plans for it to be released soon, though exact timing remains uncertain. The release could occur within days or after the holiday season, with a possibility of launching in the coming weeks. There is hope the update will not arrive before the holidays because launches at that time place extra workload on Google staff. Recent updates include the March 2025 and June 2025 core updates and an August 2025 spam update. Google has not confirmed a schedule, and many observers are awaiting the next major core update. Expectations for more frequent updates this year did not materialize.
